I have a 29 gallon biocube and no matter what I do with this coral it is always pissy.. Every test I do is right where it needs to be and it's not in direct flow or light..so I don't know why it isn't bubbly?

That is not looking too good. Water test results? What type lighting? Anything picking on it?
 
I read about it before I got it and it said that the lighting is not important just not direct lighting. I have a 39g biocube not the special lighting one for anemone and I placed it where it is a light flow of water my test results are 0 nitrate,nitrite and ammonia Ph 8.2 calcium at 500 0 phosphate and copper nothing picking on it. It's just always pissy. I have an anemone and it is doing awesome in my tank with out the extra lighting and it can't get even close to it either.. Help please!!!!
 
I spend hours researching and water changes like no other everything else is flourishing in my tank. So I don't know what to do.. :(

Mine is 13 yrs old and you can see it on my images. Ime lighting is very important. I have VHO lighting. They cant say lighting is not important. I would find someone else to get my info from.
 
Mine was always mad looking, I thought it was a goner. Then my blenny knocked it over so it is upside down between the glass and a rock (not near the sand) and it is puffy and happy. So I'm assuming even though I had it in a cave arch, it was still too much light for it. I even fixed it once and it was mad again, so my dutiful blenny knocked it over again for me.
 
Yours looks awesome by the way I don't know what the lighting is on my biocube sorry I know stupid thing not to know I think it is pc but not sure I will try a few things and will see what happens.. Thanks for the advice.. :)
